UNDERBERG & KESSLER EXPANDS ITS LITIGATION TEAM
Rochester, New York, December 13, 2024 - Underberg & Kessler LLP is pleased to announce that attorneys Mindy L. Zoghlin, Jacob H. Zoghlin, and paralegal Julie Wallace from The Zoghlin Group will be joining the Firm effective January 1, 2025. The additions will increase the Firm’s environmental, land use, zoning, renewable energy, cannabis, mediation, and municipal law capabilities.
“We are excited to welcome Mindy, Jacob, and Julie to Underberg & Kessler and to provide our clients with a deeper bench of talent,” said Underberg & Kessler’s Managing Partner Patrick L. Cusato. “The expansion compliments our environmental, municipal, and land use capabilities and enhances our ability to meet clients’ ever-evolving needs, with a shared commitment to delivering the highest quality, cost-effective legal services,” added Leah Tarantino Cintineo, Chair of the Litigation Department.
Formed in 2016 by Mindy L. Zoghlin, The Zoghlin Group has a successful statewide practice navigating clients through statutory and regulatory requirements and applying for relevant licenses and approvals from state and local authorities.
Mindy Zoghlin, joining as Senior Counsel, represents municipalities, individuals, small businesses, developers, and citizens’ groups in a wide range of environmental and land use matters, including Article 78 proceedings, zoning and regulatory permitting proceedings, toxic tort, and property damage cases. Her practice includes litigating in state and federal courts and counseling clients on minimizing and/or avoiding litigation risks. Mindy offers mediation services in zoning, land use, environmental, and municipal law matters. In 2018, Mindy received The Daily Record’s Excellence in Law/Top Women in Law award. She has been recognized by Super Lawyers as a Top Rated “Land Use & Zoning Attorney” in Rochester, New York since 2017. Mindy graduated from Brandeis University with a B.A. and earned her J.D. from University at Buffalo School of Law.
Partner Jacob Zoghlin’s practice is focused on environmental, zoning, land use, cannabis, energy, and municipal law. He counsels individuals, businesses, and municipalities. Jacob is an active member of the New York State Bar Association and Monroe County Bar Association and is a prolific blogger on a variety of legal issues. He is a member of the New York State Bar Association’s Cannabis Law Section, where he has chaired the Local Government Committee since 2022. Jacob has received the Super Lawyers Rising Star Award every year since 2020 and has been recognized by Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in America every year since 2023. In 2021, Jacob received the Up and Coming Lawyers award in The Daily Record and Rochester Business Journal’s Legal Excellence Awards program. He graduated with a B.A. from Haverford College and earned his J.D., cum laude, from American University Washington College of Law.
Julie Wallace joins U&K as a Paralegal in the Litigation Department. She has extensive experience supporting attorneys at all stages of legal challenges, from administrative proceedings to trials and appeals. At The Zoghlin Group, Julie identified and implemented project management software that significantly improved workflow efficiency, enabling the team to dedicate more time to client needs. She earned a Certificate for Legal Office Management from the Center for Workforce Development in 2017, and she is a 2022 Daily Record and Rochester Business Journal’s Legal Excellence Awards program recipient in the Paralegal category.

Season of Giving
Webster NY Hope
Webster Chamber of Commerce helps Webster NY HOPE help our neighbors
A perfect example of that giving spirit was in full evidence on Thursday afternoon when the Webster Chamber of Commerce delivered more than five fully stuffed boxes and bags of hats, gloves, socks, neck warmers and more to Webster NY HOPE for distribution to our neighbors in need.
Some of the hundreds of donated items
The Chamber has been collecting the items since October. Members were encouraged to bring items to the monthly breakfast meetings and Eat, Drink and Connect networking events, or deposit them in the collection box at the Chamber offices on Crosspointe Lane.
In just that short time, the Chamber managed to collect almost 500 pieces of winter wear, including 195 pairs of socks, 115 children’s and adults’ hats, 35 neck warmers, 113 pairs of kids’ gloves and mittens, 24 pairs of adult gloves, plus five hat and gloves sets, and more. On Thursday afternoon Chamber President Barry Howard and Administrative Assistant Barbara Baldwin dropped them all off to very grateful staff members at Webster NY HOPE.
The donations will also be greatly appreciated by our Webster neighbors in need.
“We have 600 people signed up for our Christmas program this year,” Hope Director Margery Morgan said. “There’s a big need in Webster.”
Howard agreed. “We know that this is Webster, but you have to understand, we have a lot of people in need, even in Webster. We have a lot of people that go hungry, a lot of people who don’t have clothing, a lot of people who don’t have adequate housing. We have too much of that.”
